thesqueegeekid Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Bid through savingsbarn for my parents ... I could have gotten a 2.5* or likely upgrade for $23 but those properties charge $8-$12 for parking...!!! On Expedia I was getting the 4* Wyndham Bristol place for $35 total with the "hotelbonus" special but once again a parking charge.This was my second attempt for 2* .... $19 was rejected 3 days ago.Toronto Airport (YYZ)5599 Ambler Drive Mississauga, Ontario L4W 3Z1 905-624-9500Your Offer Price: $21.00 (US dollars) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Subtotal: $21.00 (US dollars) Taxes andService Fees: $7.32 (US dollars) Total Charges: $28.32 (US dollars) Link to comment
Randi66 Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 You are right, Ive made the mistake ( a few times before I found this board) of bidding 30$ for a 3 star for TO airport. I always get Hilton, but the last time( Royal Winter fair) I got the Marriott. I was happy with the room, the bed was comfy, but the parking was 12 dollars. Im going to try for the Markham area or Don Valley. I heard the courtyard was nice with no parking charge and the time into downtown was about the same. any comments? Happy Travelling, Randi Link to comment
thesqueegeekid Posted December 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 I know those areas extremely well...Markham, be careful not to bid 3*'s otherwise you will get the Holiday Inn which is a little run down and charges for parking ($4)... BUT the new 2.5* Courtyard is superb with free highspeed internet. I have bid it many times and find that if they do not accept your $23 bid, there is no point in trying higher.Mississauga also has a brand new Courtyard which accepts $23 as well as a Rez Inn by Marriott ... free parking and internet. Way back, there was a 3* Radisson that accepted in thew low 20's ... you might get upgraded but it is a decent hotel too.DVP is my personal fav because the location is perfect .... the Crowne Plaza takes all the bids and is a great property. They are now charging $8 for parking and lately, it has taken much more to win bids for it. Check Hotwire first .... they list a 3* weekdays for only $31.Choice hotels is heavily participating in Toronto now on PL .... and for 2*'s you could get a great Quality Hotel or a dumpy Comfert Inn so, I wouldn't chance it.
